Jog-a-thon Update
A big THANK YOU to all of the students who have turned in their Jog-A-Thon pledge money! We are almost to our goal AND earning a week of Dress Down!  Please collect your Jog A Thon pledges from family, friends and neighbors and turn in your envelopes when you have everything collected! Good news! We are extending our deadline to next Friday October 13th!!  You can also direct contributors to our website so they may donate online.

Don't forget that everyone who turns in pledges will be entered into raffle drawings for prizes at our assembly later this month!  The class who raises the most money will win a class party of their choice AND their teacher will win a gift card for a local restaurant!
 
As of today Miss Nisbet's Kindergarten class is in the lead!   

Wellness Committee
Try It Tuesdays are BACK!!  We will be sampling  BEETS on October 17th.  The students will have an opportunity to learn some healthy tidbits about beets while sampling during their lunch periods. Preschoolers will have samples in their classrooms during snack time.

Not familiar with Try It Tuesday??  It is a monthly SAS Wellness program that encourages students to sample a featured fruit or vegetable in a fun environment with their peers.  The students hear about healthy fun facts about the selected item and this information will also be posted in the Home and School newsletter.  Students will be encouraged but not forced to participate in Try It Tuesday.  Participants will be able to vote; thumbs up or thumbs down on whether they liked the fruit or vegetable. Votes will be tallied and announced at the end of the day. 

Grandparent's Day / Special Person's Day
Grandparent's Day/ Special Person's Day is on Thursday, October 19th!  A fun morning for our loved ones to see the school, enjoy a wonderful breakfast catered by Southern Belle's and watch our 1st through 5th graders perform.  
 
Please let the school know by October 6th how many adults are attending so we can make appropriate accommodations.
